Windows cannot be installed in this area of ​​the hard drive.

Установка Windows в данную область жесткого диска невозможна

Computer errors are very different. Errors related to missing drivers, errors when installing or launching applications, and many others. But probably the least favorite errors are those that arise as a result of installation or reinstalling the Windows operating system. Let's look at one of them. So, when installing or reinstalling the system, it refuses to install on the specified disk. In this case, a message appears like: "Windows cannot be installed in this area of ​​the hard disk. This partition contains one or more dynamic volumes that are not suitable for installation." The problem is that the OS installer does not want to work with dynamic volumes and agrees to install only on basic volumes.

You can solve this problem in the following way: you need to convert the dynamic volumes of your hard drive to basic ones. And we need to try to do this without data loss.

So, first you will need to download Acronis Disk Director program. This program must be placed on the boot disk. After this, you need to make sure that your computer starts with this particular boot disk. After booting the computer, you need to launch the Acronis Disk Director program.

After starting the program, you will see all the local disks of the system, as well as a hidden disk intended for restoration system. All you need to do is right-click on the drive(s) and select "Convert to Basic", and then confirm your actions. After converting the local disk types, the error that appeared when installing the operating system will disappear. Now you can install it.
